The Heritage Learning Centre, on the site of the former Song School, will be a two-storey stone building with some terracotta and glass features. Planning approval was secured earlier this year from the Cathedrals Fabric Commission for England and Leicester City Council, after taking advice from Historic England, the Leicester Conservation Advisory Panel and others. The Dean of Leicester, the Very Revd David Monteith said: “Leicester Cathedral Revealed is very important because it will transform what we will be able to do. It will protect the historic setting of the Cathedral, free up the sacred spaces, provide inspirational interpretation and learning facilities, and be a safe place of hospitality and refuge for those in need. In every respect it will transform the individual experience of being inside the Cathedral. “Since the reinternment of King Richard III in 2015, our city has benefited from £8m additional income a year thanks to the extraordinary upsurge in cultural tourists. This project has the potential to double that for the city. “We are delighted and immensely grateful for the significant support we have received from The National Lottery Heritage Fund and from local individuals and organisations. We have now raised £8m and have £3m left to secure. So there is still a job to be done. We will continue to fundraise throughout 2019 and with the help of everyone who believes this project matters to all our communities, we will get there.” Work in Leicester is expected to begin on site in early 2020 and is anticipated to be completed by 2022.

It is being taken over by the independent Beautiful Pubs Collective under the leadership of Sam Hagger, who was named Small Business Executive of the Year as well as overall Leicestershire Business Executive of the Year at the Leicester Mercury's 2018 Business Executive Awards 2018. Works are already underway in a joint £110,000 redevelopment, with the investment being shared between the Beautiful Pubs Collective and the pub's freehold owner, Everards of Leicestershire. Sam Hagger said, “You can expect a stunning pub, offering multiple reasons to visit under one roof. Despite the current political and economic uncertainties there has never been a better time to invest in Leicester. I believe the King Richard III is the perfect opportunity for us to create a unique, exciting venue in the heart of the city, alongside our forward-thinking property partner.” The revival of the King Richard III will give existing members of the Beautiful Pub Collective new opportunities to flourish in their careers, as well as creating five full time and five part time jobs. New prospectus launched for Leicestershire’s £285m sporting economy The new Premier Sporting Location Prospectus for Leicester and Leicestershire was officially launched in April at the Leicester Riders home game against London City Royals. The Prospectus showcases the extensive range of sporting venues in the city and county, the national and international sports events that have been hosted and the other events and conferences they are able to host. From motorsports, football, rugby, basketball and cricket to horse racing and all the opportunities available at the National Forest and Loughborough University; there is such an extensive offer available in Leicester and Leicestershire and it’s time this secret is shared further afield. Leicester-Shire and Rutland Sport, supported by partners are sharing this message to attract more events, conferences and visitors to the area. Around 2 million visits are made to key sporting venues in the city and county each year and the sporting economy in Leicester and Leicestershire generates £285 million per year along with 8,405 jobs in the local economy. Leicester’s incredible sporting journey over the last few years and the profile and events hosted, have developed significantly. Now through the Premier Sporting Location work and the development of the Sport Events Calendar, the team at Leicester-Shire and Rutland Sport hope to drive this agenda to bring more events, visitors and conferences to the area. These resources have been welcomed by the Leicester and Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership (LLEP). Andy Reed OBE and Vice Chair of the LLEP said: “The sports sector in Leicester and Leicestershire has been recognised for some time for its contribution to the local economy. The visitors the area welcomes through sport, bring wider economic benefits across a range of sectors and help to raise the profile of Leicester and Leicestershire further afield. We look forward to supporting this work and seeing how it develops.” Ali Clements, Leicester-Shire and Rutland Sport’s Economy and Sport Growth Manager said: “There is such an incredible array of sporting venues available to host a whole variety of events, some of which many local residents may not have visited. The Premier Sporting Location branding and work is the start of showcasing Leicester and Leicestershire’s offer and reaching out to attract more events, conferences and visitors to enjoy the unique offer available in Leicester and Leicestershire.” 5 | P a g e Leicester City Centre Director Update Report – April 2019 Openings and Closings We wish all new businesses good trading and a warm welcome to Leicester City Centre!
